South Hawks Class of 2020 Senior Lock-in

HHS South Senior Class of 2020 kicked off the year at the Senior Lock-in. The lock-in was held at Urban Air and proved to be a night filled with fun and laughter. Students picked up their first official senior t-shirt and signed the Class of 2020 official banner. Aside from the various trampolines, students were able to pick from activities such as playing laser tag, riding the sky rider coaster, and enjoying virtual reality gaming. Seniors were treated to pizza and a drink. Students voted for their Class of 2020 flower, (peony), song (“I Lived” by OneRepublic), colors (coral and lavender), and motto (“Ahead of the rest, Class of 2020 is the best.”). Thank you to the senior sponsors, administration and teacher volunteers for hosting such a great event. Shout out to Class of 2020 Seniors Spencer Ferguson, Emily Mesa, and Evelyn Yanez, as well as to Ms. De La Rosa for their contributions to this article!
